My big sister Anne singing " She'll be Coming Round the Mountain " while she pushed me on the swing.
Summer afternoons going over Fairlie Moor, all of us packed into my Grandad's big car.
Howie's rolls still warm from the oven.

Re: Turn back time
I caught up with this topic while on holiday, and was surprised that it hadn't run longer. There are surely those of us of a certain age group who could revive lots of memories.
I'll start off my contribution with 5015 ("fifty-fifteen") - the family's Co-op dividend number. It's unforgettable.

Nothing is ever really lost to us as long as we remember it.

Re: Turn back time
My mum’s (never my dads for some reason) coop number is my bank pin - it’s tattooed inside my brain and I’ll NEVER forget it. The only other person that knew it was Norma and she’s no longer with us so I know it’s securePenny Tray wrote: ↑Wed Jun 22, 2022 9:16 pm I caught up with this topic while on holiday, and was surprised that it hadn't run longer.

Re: Turn back time
It would be interested to see who has the earliest Co-op number, our Ardrossan one was 558.

Re: Turn back time
Despite our Dad being a butcher, our regular Saturday order at the Co-op van was
" A pound of mince, a pound of stew, nine one double two (9122)".
In my 70s now and it's never forgotten!

Re: Turn back time
For the benefit of younger members and guests, can somebody explain how the Co-op dividend worked.
Of course many of you will remember the (embassy coupons catalogue) the prizes looked good and i remember quite a few people saving up for ages ..only to find out the cigarette coupons went missing. You could sell them everywhere
